Hi,

I am glad you chose icliniq for your medical-related queries.

I understand your concern and will try to help you with it.

Travelling in early pregnancy is not advisable. If it is inevitable, she can opt for a safe mode of transport like train or flight (there wont be any gross movement of the body). Travelling by bus may not be advised as rash driving is not advised. Travelling by your own vehicle is better, as you can drive slowly and safely. Start off early before the journey, so there will be no reason for hurry. I hope that helps.

I appreciate your trust in icliniq.com and for giving me the chance to serve you.
